[QUOTE="boscodog, post: 1565679, member: 44198"] The key word here is coming home! I live in Alaska and love hunting and fishing, I’ve had my share of close encounters, been treed even had to kill a brownie in self defense. Two of my sons have had many encounters. One is a brown bear guide on Chichagof island where there are more bears per square mile than anywhere on the planet! the other is an assistant guide on his team occasionally. Both of them have had to kill bears in self-defense. All of us carry a Smith and Wesson 500! If things start to go bad, you may only get one crack at it and bigger is always better! For those of you who think that a lot of fast little pills are a good thing, I’d think again. I watched A friend of mine put five rounds into a bull moose’s head with his 10mm glock using 220grn corbon’s, the bull just looked at him. Granted, nun of the shots hit the brain but they were all strait on head shots, he finally went down after hitting him in the side of the head with the 500. Think about enraged and brown! There’s a pretty good story on this site about my grandson taking a brown bear in self-defense, can’t remember where exactly, I think it’s in the bear section and it talks about an 11-year-old boy saving a fishing party.
